J had this rheumatologist appointment yesterday and just as I thought - she couldn't diagnose what he has - yet. She did say that it could be one of two things - 1. reactive arthritis - the virus...

T-Man has earned his high school diploma. Got the word today.  He also texted me asking for his SS# today.  I knew that meant he was applying for a job.  In addition - he did a chore without...

 Before I start this hodge podge journal entry - I just have to comment on the Haitian situation.  The devastation and destruction of what the people of that country are going through is so...

Although J's mysterious, extremely painful knee is still hurting, at least, he isn't needing the Vicodin as much as he did because he's out of them.  He took the last of them this afternoon, so we...

Shit.  Need relief and answers.  Although I am not sure I really want to know what the answer will be. My 20 year son, J, is in severe agony and needs pain medications (Vicodin) around the clock....

Middle son was sick over a week and a half ago - fever, aches and pains, sore throat, headache, sinus - you name it.  He was sick for a good few days.  He recovered enough to have scheduled minor...

I heard back from the director at our area adolescent drug treatment center.  He said that they're VERY interested in pursuing some of the concepts that the other treatment center are doing a few...

Now that things are settled down (in the major drama department) I'm trying to get back into the advocacy "stuff".  I have some many ideas and making some progress in some of them.   In fact, I...

Had a wonderful Christmas.  T-Man was a no show for our traditional Christmas Eve Mass we like to go to as a family.  He slept at his friend's again the night before and we didn't see him all day....

Somehow time slipped away from us and we still had no tree.  It's not that I'm not in the "spirit" but hubby and I just haven't managed to spend any time together, lately.  Anyway, it got to the...

Although I knew it was a matter of time - I am glad that it happened.  Perhaps we can move forward with T. Poor guy.  I feel for him. He's now facing his "demon", so to speak. For the last few...

Looks like we're back to our new old "norm".  All my boys are in a good place.  Oldest is working, has a car, is over the H1N1 that took a toll on him. He's starting to talk about going to grad...

We received a call this evening from T.  He said the ambulance is at his friend's house for him. He had them call 911 because his heart rate went up and he couldn't breathe very well. The ambulance...

T didn't come home but he's doing well (not using).  He actually is down the street at his best friend's house. Said it got too late and fell asleep.  Decided to let this thing go.  I haven't been...
